Invalid syntax with setx

Question

I used the setx command to set OGRE_HOME:

setx OGRE_HOME D:\\Program Files\\OgreSDK

Now I need to change to value

Answer 1

Command Prompt is giving you that error because you forgot the quotation marks. You should’ve typed:

setx OGRE_HOME “D:\Program Files\OgreSDK”

To see all the values you’ve already set, enter either:

reg query "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment"

OR

reg query HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Environment
